Upper left, accession number inscribed in blue ink.NotesSource Note: The composition is derived from a painting by John Frederick Herring I (1795-1865), which was published as a aquatint in 1847 by Henry Graves & Co. The Kellogg print is presumably based on the aquatint and not on the original painting itself. (Shortell, 2/10/2003)
